CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE
ORAL JUDGMENT
Date: 19-07-2017
In identical proceedings i.e. in Request Case Nos.8 of
2016 and various other analogous cases, a detailed order has been
passed by me on 19.4.2017 allowing an application under Section
11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act and an Arbitral
Tribunal has been constituted. In these applications also, the
respondents herein had entered into an agreement with the appellant
and the issues, identical in nature, has been referred for arbitration
on 19.4.2017. As identical issues are involved in the matter which
has already been considered on 19.4.2017 in Request Case
No.8/2016 and other casesand as the same objections are raised
herein, I see no reason to take a different view from the one already
taken by me on 19.4.2017 when a series of cases detailed
hereinabove were disposed of.
The objection of the respondents that the matter is pending
before the Hon'ble Supreme Court in an S.L.P. cannot be a ground
for postponing the matter as for the last more than six weeks
adjournments are taken on this very ground. That apart, the
contention that certain applicants have deposited the amount is not a
Patna High Court REQ. CASE No.37 of 2017 dt.19-07-2017
16/16
ground for refusing arbitration, but a ground to be raised by the
respondents before the Arbitrator and the consequential effect taken
note of by the Arbitrator.
For the reasons and ground indicated in the order dated
19.4.2017, these applications are allowed.
Justice (Retired) R.K. Datta is appointed as arbitrator to adjudicate the dispute. However, in these proceedings this Court has not gone into the merits of various objections raised with regard to maintainability of the dispute. In view of the certificate proceedings held, the question of limitation and all other issues are left open to be canvassed by the parties before the arbitrator.
